Deuteronomy 32:35
33 Their wine is snakes’ poison, the deadly venom of cobras. 34 “Is this not stored up with me?” says the Lord, “Is it not sealed up in my storehouses? 35 I will get revenge and pay them back at the time their foot slips; for the day of their disaster is near, and the impending judgment is rushing upon them!” 36 The Lord will judge his people, and will have compassion on his servants;62 when he sees that their power has disappeared, and that no one is left, whether confined or set free. 37 He will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in whom they sought security,

"... The key difference between the Masoretic Text and the Samaritan Pentateuch comes at the start of verse 35 where the Masoretic reads: יִל ‘mine,’ but the Samaritan text has two additional consonants to read: םויל ‘for the day.’ The Masoretic text reading is supported by the Vulgate, the Targums and the Peshitta (Longacre 2009, 3-6).
